FOREWORD 


Tliis  l)()()kl('l  is  (lc(li<-alc(l  to  tlioso  who  went  I'oitli  :il  llic  ciill  of 
our  ("oiiiitrv  rcsohod  to  prosorve  our  heritage  of  freedom.  It  also 
very  fittingly  inehiiles  a  l)rief  siiiiiiiiary  of  the  i)atriotie  ser\ic-es  rendered 
by  those  of  our  Congregation  who  hy  the  very  nature  of  things  were  obliged 
to  remain  at  home. 

Shall  we  ever  forget  the  Easter  Sunilay  morning  service  of  April  8, 
1!)17,  when  the  assembled  congregation  solemnly  arose  and  pledged  its 
loyalty  to  our  Republic  in  the  stern  conflict  which  had  just  ojiened? 
Many  of  us  will  fore\er  cherish  the  privilege  of  having  been  present  on 
such  an  important  and  impressive  occasion.  By  order  of  the  Session 
the  "Stars  and  Stripes"  were  dra|)ed  about  the  puljjit  in  the  firm  resolve 
that  they  must  remain  there  until  the  war  should  have  been  brought  to 
a  successful  conclusion  and  the  matter  in  hand  should  have  been  rightly 
settled. 

At  a  special  .service,  attended  by  the  Patriotic  Order  Sons  of 
America,  the  Church  was  presented  with  a  suitable  flag  and  pole,  which 
was  located  at  the  right-hand  side  of  the  puljjit.  The  Men's  League  also 
jjlaced  a  flagi)ole  on  the  front  of  the  Church  building  and  furnished  a  flag 
for  general  use;  and  Mr.  Harry  A.  SchmoU,  the  President  of  the  League, 
presented  the  Church  with  a  large  and  beautiful  flag,  to  be  displayed  on 
this  pole  during  favorable  weather.  The  Church  was  also  presented  with 
a  handsome  "Service"  flag,  through  the  kindness  of  Mrs.  L  P.  Pardee. 
This  flag,  containing  eighty-six  stars,  remained  in  position  on  the  outside 
of  the  Church    building  throughout    the  war  period. 

We  should  furthermore  be  glad  to  remember  that  when  the  war 
activities  of  the  community  were  most  urgent  in  their  demands  the  response 
of  our  Congregation  was  unanimous  and  always  most  admirable  and 
prai.seworthy.  The  women  were  untiring  in  their  support  of  the  Red 
Cross  Society  and  the  Red  Cross  Canteen.  The  men  worke(l  with  the 
I/iberty  Loan  Organization,  ser\-ed  effectively  with  the  Four-Minute  ^L•n, 
assisted  the  Lo<al  K\('m|)tion  Roard,  and  entered  into  ever\'  line  of  acti\ity 
with  enthusiasm  all  aglow  and  a  perst-\'erance  thai   knew  no  l)ounds. 

In  the  life  of  the  Church  each  service  included  the  singing  of  the 
Natioiud  anthem — "Star  S])angletl  Ranner,"  or  ".\inerica,"  and,  by  prayer 
and  i)ersistent  action,  the  home  "front"  was  continuously  maintained  at 
a  high  standard.

It  seems  quite  appropriate  moreover  to  refer  particularly  to  certain 
things  which  we  readily  recall  now  hut  which,  in  the  course  of  coming; 
years,  may  be  entirely  forgotten  unless  they  are  made  a  matter  of  record. 

The  Men's  Bible  Class  of  the  Sunday  School  presented  each  man 
on  our  Honor  Roll  with  a  handsomely  bound  New  Testament. 

The  War  Emergency  Committee  of  The  Men's  League,  with  the 
active  support  of  the  membership  of  the  T.,eague,  conducted  four  success- 
ful campaigns — sixteen  teams  of  two  men  each  visiting  the  home  of  every 
member  of  our  Congregation.  During  June,  1917,  these  men  secured 
over  -ISI^.OOO.OO  for  the  Red  Cross  Society;  in  October,  1917,  they  en- 
rolled ^274  families  in  the  "food  conservation"  movement,  effecting  l'-2,8()l 
wheatless  meals  and  25,322  meatless  meals;  in  December,  1917,  they 
brought  the  Red  Cross  membership  among  our  own  people  up  to  a  total 
equalling  ninety-six  per  cent,  of  the  membcrshij)  of  the  Church;  and, 
in  December,  1918,  another  well-directed  effort  in  the  same  cause  made 
the  final  standing  one  hundred  per  cent. 

The  Women's  Aid  Society  and  the  Senior  Christian  Endeavor 
Society  worked  faithfully  and  earnestly  for  the  Red  Cross  and  also  in 
connection  with  other  war-relief  activities. 

Our  Congregation  gave  hearty  and  united  support  to  the  war 
work  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  and  of  the  Young  Women's 
Christian  Association;    also  to  the  Community  War  Chest. 

It  was  the  privilege  of  your  pastor  to  attend  many  of  the  farewell 
services  at  City  Hall,  at  times  to  address  the  departing  men,  and  always 
to  march  with  them  to  the  railroad  station.  Through  The  Men's  League, 
and  with  the  assistance  of  the  Senior  Christian  Endeavor  Society,  special 
letters  were  prepared  from  time  to  time  and  sent  to  our  men  in  the  service 
of  the  Nation. 

In  accordance  with  an  Act  of  Congress,  we  turned  our  time  back 
one  hour,  on  the  last  Sunday  of  March,  1918,  and  returned  to  the  old 
time  with  the  last  Sunday  of  October,  1918.  We  also  complied  with  the 
wishes  of  the  Fuel  Administration  by  holding  our  Sunday  evening  ser- 
vices down  stairs  during  extremely  cold  weather;  and  assisted  further 
in  saving  coal  by  having  all  meetings  during  the  week  on  Thursday  only. 

The  influenza  epidemic  of  the  fall  of  1918  added  greatly  to  the 
tension  of  strained  conditions;  and  we  shall  continue  to  remember,  with 
pleasure,  that  it  was  possible  for  the  Red  Cross  Canteen  to  use  our  Church 
kitchen  in  its  noble  and  effective  relief  work. 

It  is  also  pleasing  to  recall  that  this  same  agency  fed  soldiers  of  the 
U.  S.  Quartermaster's  Department  in  the  social  rooms  of  the  Church 
whenever  they  were  quartered  for  the  night  in  our  City. 

Special  i)atriotic  services  were  conducted  at  frequent  intervals, 
including  a  "Service  of  Prayer  for  the  Nation,"  on  Memorial  Day,  of 

(S) 


1918;  a  "  ratiiotic  Devotional  Service,"  on  July  4.  1918;  "Rritain-Day 
Service."  on  Dcceniher  8,  1918;  and — the  fire  alarm  having;  announced 
during  the  night  that  the  Armistice  had  been  signed — shall  we  ever  forget 
the  service  of  praise  and  thanksgiving  held  at  six  o'clock  on  the  morning 
of  November  11,  1918?  The  memory  of  this  particular  gathering  will 
long  he  cherished  hy  more  than  two  hundred  of  the  |)eoi)le  of  our  Church, 
who  came  together  at  this  uiuisuai  hour  to  say — "Thine,  <)  Lord,  is  the 
victory  I" 

Then,  again,  we  siiail  ne\er  forget  tlie  uiemoriai  service  of  December 
lo,  1918,  in  honor  of  Lieutenant  Frederick  L.  Drake  and  Private  William 
H.  Schnit/.er,  two  of  our  Honor  Roll  men  who  made  the  supreme  sacrifice, 
and  at  which  time  two  gold  stars  on  our  Ser%ice  Flag  were  uuxeiled. 

Marking  the  signing  of  the  Peace  Treaty,  a  suitable  service  was 
held  and,  with  fitting  ceremony  and  thankful  hearts,  the  colors  were 
lifted  from  the  pulpit. 

In  commemoration  of  those  who  went  fortli  resolved  to  preserve 
our  heritage  of  freedom,  and  desiring  to  provide  for  all  time  a  permanent 
and  lasting  tribute  to  the  men  and  women  in  the  service  of  the  Nation 
from  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  of  Hazleton,  Pennsylvania,  our 
Congregation  gladly  contributed  the  funds  recpiired  for  a  Bronze  Memorial 
Tablet  and  the  publication  of  this  booklet.  We  shall  never  forget  their 
going-forth  and  their  home-coming,  and  this  testimonial  is  but  the  out- 
ward expression  of  our  liearts  with  tlie  keen  realization  that  no  word  nor 
act  can  fully  voice  our  appreciation  of  their  partiotism  and  loxalty  in 
times  of  danger. 

The  following  pages  present  a  ]>ermanent  record  of  historic  value, 
compiled  with  care  from  data  very  generously  su])i)lied    the  Committee. 

We  have  every  reason  to  be  proud  of  our  record  as  a  church  and 
|)co])lc,  and  through  the  coming  days  we  shall  continue  lo  be  thankful 
to  (iod  for  His  grac'ioi'.s  guidance.
